Thanks BCR.

While I would LOVE to do it myself, I would be relegated to handing someone else tools and and watching/learning intently.

While that ship has sailed, there are times that I really wish I could do such things. Even if renting the tools or whatever. Just even knowing about such things.

I'll see what he says and I'll order it.

E53 mod?

While it is too late for mine, is this something that could be done on an E53?

My apologies if that's an ignorant question.
